Interesting Facts and Statistics:

GHB has gained popularity in recent years as a "club drug" among young people; they are reported to use it mainly for its euphoric and sedative effects.

In 2008, adults aged 21 or older who had first used alcohol at age 14 or younger were more than 5 times as likely to be classified with alcohol dependence or abuse than adults who had their first drink at age 21 or older (15.1 vs. 2.6 percent).

Flashbacks do occur with the use of LSD and have been reported to consist of fleeting perceptions of colors and shapes that occur long after usage of the drug has stopped. This effect could possibly be due to brain damage and may be permanent and irreversible.

Some users of Ativan have experienced acting inappropriately or being out of control; others have reported a lack of recall and in some cases full blown amnesia.

Keeping marijuana illegal keeps the prices higher. As drug use is sensitive to price, high prices help keep rates of marijuana use rates, especially amongst young people, relatively low.

Hallucinogens were used in the past month by 1.0 million persons (0.4 percent) aged 12 or older in 2007, including 503,000 (0.2 percent) who had used Ecstasy. These estimates were similar to the corresponding estimates for 2006.
